It's no longer too early to cast your vote

Texans who can't wait until Nov. 6 to cast their ballot in the general election can vote early, beginning Monday.

During the early voting period, which runs through Nov. 2, voters may cast a ballot at any polling place in their county of residence.

To cast a ballot during early voting or on Election Day, voters will need their voter registration card or, if they don't have it with them, a driver's license, a U.S. passport or some other document that establishes identity.

Voters do not need photo identification as required in Senate Bill 14, passed during the last legislative session but still held up in the courts.
